1-independent percolation on ℤ2×Kn
Get PDFA random graph model on a host graph (Formula presented.) is said to be 1-independent if for every pair of vertex-disjoint subsets (Formula presented.) of (Formula presented.), the state of edges (absent or present) in (Formula presented.) is independent of the state of edges in (Formula presented.). For an infinite connected graph (Formula presented.), the 1-independent critical percolation probability (Formula presented.) is the infimum of the (Formula presented.) such that every 1-independent random graph model on (Formula presented.) in which each edge is present with probability at least (Formula presented.) almost surely contains an infinite connected component. Balister and Bollobás observed in 2012 that (Formula presented.) tends to a limit in (Formula presented.) as (Formula presented.), and they asked for the value of this limit. We make progress on a related problem by showing that (Formula presented.) In fact, we show that the equality above remains true if the sequence of complete graphs (Formula presented.) is replaced by a sequence of weakly pseudorandom graphs on (Formula presented.) vertices with average degree (Formula presented.). We conjecture the answer to Balister and Bollobás's question is also (Formula presented.)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
An extremal construction for (5,24)-multigraphs
No full textIn the mid 1900s the area of extremal graph theory took its first propersteps with the proof of Turán’s theorem. In 1963 Pál Erdős asked for an extension of this fundamental result regarding (n, s, q)-graphs; graphs on n vertices in which any s-set of vertices spans at most q edges, and multiple edges are allowed; and raised the question of determining ex(n, s, q), the maximum number of edges spanning such a graph. More recently, Mubayi and Terry looked at the problem of determining the maximum productof the edges in (n, s, q)-graphs. Their proof was further investigated by Day, Falgas-Ravry and Treglown who, in particular, settled a conjecture of Mubayi and Terry regarding the case (s, q) = (4, 6a+3), for a ∈ Z≥2. In this thesis we look at the case (s, q) = (5, 24), which is mentioned as an open problem at the end of the paper by Day, Falgas-Ravry and Treglown. A hypothetical extremal construction was provided by Victor Falgas-Ravry, and we prove it to be asymptotically optimal
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Codegree Thresholds for Covering 3-Uniform Hypergraphs
No full textGiven two 3-uniform hypergraphs F and G = (V, E), we say that G has an F-covering if we can cover V with copies of F. The minimum codegree of G is the largest integer d such that every pair of vertices from V is contained in at least d triples from E. Define c(2)(n, F) to be the largest minimum codegree among all n-vertex 3-graphs G that contain no F-covering. Determining c(2)(n, F) is a natural problem intermediate (but distinct) from the well-studied Turan problems and tiling problems. In this paper, we determine c(2)(n, K-4) (for n > 98) and the associated extremal configurations (for n > 998), where K-4 denotes the complete 3-graph on 4 vertices. We also obtain bounds on c(2)(n, F) which are apart by at most 2 in the cases where F is K-4(-) (K-4 with one edge removed), K-5(-), and the tight cycle C-5 on 5 vertices.</p
